Need moving boxes?
How about getting them for free?
You can save money and resources!

Here's how:

Contact the Recycling Shop to see if we have the boxes you need in stock. We have a variety of previously used, in good condition, moving boxes that you can get delivered to your office or work space. Not only that, once you are done using them call us back and we will pick them up. The reusable ones will be redistributed back into the moving box program.

How it works:

1. As soon as you know you will need moving boxes, determine approximately how many and what sizes and call the Recycling Shop. We will let you know if we can provide the boxes you need.
2. We will schedule the date, time and place of delivery.
3. Call the day before delivery to confirm the order.
4. Once your move is complete call the Recycling Shop and we will schedule the pick up of the moving boxes.

Below are representative pictures of box types and sizes we may have in stock. Actual availability may vary. Please help us keep moving boxes in stock by requesting a box pickup for your empty boxes by emailing contactcsc@nyu.edu, calling 212-998-1001 or by using the webform. The boxes collected will be made available for other NYU community members to use.
